Grateful for silver linings, one of which is how family and friends are gathering around us in prayer and with offers of support. Cancer is a lot of hard things. It is already proving to be a lot of connecting with loved ones and strengthening of relationships and that is so, so good.

Encouraging Words

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Replace fear of the unknown with curiousity.

In an instant everything can change for the better.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 New Living Translation (NLT)12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him. (Psalm 28:7 AMP)

Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.– Nido Qubein
